"Navigatio" takes you on a musical journey based on the legendary voyage of Brendan of Clonfert (c. AD 484 – c. 577) also known as St. Brendan the Navigator. This Christian metal track with folk metal and Celtic metal elements is accompanied with lyrics in the video.
While the story of Brendan's journey is from relatively late sources that have seemingly legendary, mythical or perhaps allegorical elements, it is interesting that there are also some details that seem to hint at a historical core. The journey has also been re-enacted with the type of curach boat that is mentioned in Navigatio Sancti Brendani Abbatis.
📜 Song lyrics:
In days of yore on Kerry’s shore, a tale begins to weave,
Of monks who dared the ocean’s vast, from Clonfert took their leave.
Through legends, myths, and mysteries, they sailed the ancient sea,
Saint Brendan and his brothers bold, in search of what might be.
With sails unfurled to the morning light, they left the emerald isle,
In curach made by careful hands, they journeyed mile by mile.
Through mist and wave, with hearts so brave, they ventured far from land,
To seek a hidden paradise, with the Celtic cross in hand.
Oh, Navigatio, the journey and the quest,
Where truth and tale together sail, upon the waves of ocean’s crest.
A mosaic of history, with threads both old and new,
Where symbols blend with earthly realms, and dreams might yet come true.
They found a land of giant sheep, where monks and birds reside,
An isle of fire and molten rock, where hell and earth collide.
Crystal pillars in the sea, like icebergs shining bright,
Each sight a piece of heaven’s grace, or nature’s fearsome might.
Oh, Navigatio, the journey and the quest,
Where truth and tale together sail, upon the waves of ocean’s crest.
A mosaic of history, with threads both old and new,
Where symbols blend with earthly realms, and dreams might yet come true.
Did they touch the distant shores of North America’s wild?
Or glimpse through misty veils at a land from history exiled?
With stories carved on new world stone and script, in ogham and in runes,
Their journey echoes through the years, beneath the stars and moons.
From Iceland’s fiery mountains, to the Sargasso’s calm embrace,
Through crystal towers and foggy nights, they wandered time and space.
A quest for earthly paradise, a leap of hope firmly placed,
The line ‘tween real and wondrous thin, their steps by grace embraced.
Oh, Navigatio, the journey and the quest,
Where truth and tale together sail, upon the ocean’s crest.
A mosaic of history, with threads both old and new,
Where symbols blend with earthly realms, and dreams might yet come true.
They spoke of lands with apples ripe, of walrus tusks and more,
Of far-off lands with wonders vast, beyond their known shore.
With modern quests and ancient maps, explorers seek to find,
The echoes of those ancient monks, in journeys unconfined.
Through the faded pages of history, an enigma unfolds,
In the mystic weave of symbols, where the seas and skies are bold.
Re-enacted in our time, with curach sails unfurled,
Facts blend with allegory's charm, echoing this ancient world.
With mystery and history, their journey’s truth for us to find,
A core of matching details, in the world and tales they left behind.
So let us ponder Brendan’s quest, with hearts and minds set free,
To trace the paths of narrative, across life's endless sea.
